After Ron proposes, Hermione breaks up with him and runs away mysteriously. After three years of silence, they meet eyes once again. But after all the hurt and anger, there is only hope.

((Beautiful banner by Silv3r Ic3))The bitter wind of the late October night swept through the streets of Hogsmead as the sun was going to rise in under an hour. As soon as the sun rose, it was over.
